China should firmly uphold its territorial sovereignty and maritime rights while handling disputes but at the same time, the nation should step up diplomatic efforts with neighbouring countries, President Xi Jinping has said.

"We should firmly uphold China's territorial sovereignty, maritime rights and interests and national unity, and properly handle territorial and island disputes," Xi told the Central Conference of the ruling Communist Party of China on Saturday.
